I was having trouble figuring out what those things were... They look like a lot of fun. I like the idea of the ornament hooks. I was thinking small paper clips too but the hooks are better and hide the wire inside the beads. So much fun. I may have to try these. Don't they make similar cups in different translucent colors?

There used to be an Italian restaurant here in Omaha called Mr. C's that was perpetually decorated for Christmas. My favorite decoration was what I called punch cup lights - these! I always wanted to make one. Thanks for posting this!
